You did not add a correct sources list file for Sublime. You have two options: Fix the file, or remove the file and not have Sublime on your system.
Fixing the file
The documentation from Sublime actually shows you need to have this as the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list:
deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/TRACK/
where you replace TRACK with either stable or dev depending on which Sublime version track you want (stable for stable, dev for the in-development versions).
Go into the file specifically that you have now, and make sure to update it with the proper apt-formatted string.
Edit the file with this command:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list
Edit the file according to the information I gave you above.
Hit CTRL + O once you've made the revisions, then hit the "Enter" key when it says "File name to Write" (which should already say sublimetext.list). Then hit CTRL + X to drop back to the terminal.
Now attempt your sudo apt-get update command - it should work then.
Removing the file
This one is easy:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list
Now your apt-get update calls won't error. The side effect though is that you can't get Sublime Text installed then.
